There have been a small handful of horror films this past year that really worked. In between a few poor remakes and PG-13 bore fests, it is refreshing to see a movie like SPLINTER. While it is not the most original idea, it is still one of the best horror outings in quite awhile, with its well crafted take on survivors being attacked by a strange and deadly killer that is unlike anything I�ve ever...

... on the people it kills, a neat variation on the tried-and-true zombie format. British director Toby Wilkins (the upcoming “Grudge 3″) began his career as a visual effects specialist, but he’s made a slick transition to helming features. The next step in his film education will be to stop shaking his camera every time the creature makes a move. The film’s lack of ambition starts to...

Review: 'Splinter'Movie about a young couple who get carjacked by a deranged outlaw and then chased by a parasitic creature falls into crummy horror flick category. "Splinter" is being promoted as some kind of meta-horror movie but it just seemed like a plain old crummy horror flick to me. British director Toby Wilkins sets up a generic scary situation and then follows it through generically....

[In an unusual distribution move Magnet Pictures actually released Toby Wilkins’ Splinter for VOD viewing before putting it on the big screen but with the big screen release coming tomorrow now seemed the appropriate time to share our thoughts on this effective little horror picture.] It’s the oldest play in the horror book: a small group of badly mismatched people trapped in a confined...

Film Reviews: F/x whiz Toby Wilkins' "Splinter" is a spare, effective and genuinely frightening retro-nightmare that will have teenage gore girls trooping to the movies like lurching swarms of George Romero's living dead. The socio-sexual-psychological attraction of "Splinter" -- which just won a rash of awards at Screamfest in Los Angeles -- will constitute as much of the film's draw...
